Sarah & Duck is the new hit CBeebies show entertaining the children of the nation every weekday at 4pm. Music 4 Studios have worked with the production team on this show from the initial pilots through to the finished programmes, recording all the voices for Sarah & Duck and the theme tune too! Kids and adults alike are tuning in to watch Sarah and her best friend Duck take on the world!

We feel honoured to have seen this project grow from a humble idea to a full blown series on CBeebies.

Music 4 are often asked to do 'almost impossible things' and Radio 1's latest request was no different... make Tina Daheley from The Chris Moyles Show sing in tune! On playing the new Chris Brown / Chipmunk track on Radio 1, Chris wondered if they could remove Chris Brown and replace him with someone else. Tone deaf Tina offered and we were asked to work our magic.

Tina recorded her vocals at Music 4 studios yesterday afternoon and the results were played out on Radio 1 early this morning.

Supersize Teens: Can't Stop Eating aired last night (1st June) on ITV1. Music 4 Studios recorded the narration for the programme and provided the final mix.

Can't Stop Eating, narrated by television drama star Lesley Sharp, is the story of two morbidly obese American teenage girls who underwent life threatening gastric bypass and gastric band operations in a bid to lose weight.

This is the latest in a series of shows surrounding the issues of obesity to pass through our studios. We love working on these shows but always feel slightly guilty when we start passing around huge plates of biscuits during the sessions!

Big love and congratulations go out to Adele and Duffy on their wins at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Both Adele and Duffy have been regular visitors to Music 4 Studios over the past 12 months to undertake ISDN interviews for local and regional radio.

Adele picked up 2 Grammy's for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for Chasing Pavements and Duffy won Best Pop Vocal Album for her debut album Rockferry.

During a visit in October, Adele recorded a live acoustic session here at Music 4 Studios. You can hear a brief highlight of "Make You Feel My Love" by clicking the 'go to project' link below!

It's been a good few days for 'star spotting' here at Music 4 Studios with visits from Enrique Inglesias, Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) and Brit Award winning Adele. Enrique Inglesias made a return visit to Music 4 to promote his new “Greatest Hits” album due for release November 17th. Enrique undertook several ISDN interviews to regional radio stations as well as face-to-face interviews. Both Enrique and his entourage had fun on our Nintendo Wii afterwards!

Actress and singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus (aka Hannah Montana) also came into the studios this week to promote her newly released album “Breakout”. Miley Cyrus has been nominated for Best New Act at the forthcoming MTV Europe Music Awards on November 6th (co-incidentally, we recently mixed nomination packages for this MTV show, news to follow shortly). She has our vote! Unfortunately though, we didn't manage to grab a picture for our guest gallery. Maybe next time!

We were also delighted to welcome back Brit Award winner Adele for her third visit to promote her new single “Make You Feel My Love”. Adele performed a number of songs from her number 1 platinum selling album “19”. We set our vocal booth up to accommodate Adele on vocals alongside her guitarist and pianist.

After mixing the tracks on our fab SSL mixing console, we then continued with ISDN and face-to-face interviews in conjunction with delivering the recorded tracks to various radio stations. We were delighted to receive great feedback from the record company and radio stations for the overall sound and mix on her tracks and we look forward to recording more performances here at Berners Street.

Music 4's music imaging for London's number 1 radio station, Magic 105.4, picks up a Gold at the Sony Radio Awards 2008 and Chris Moyles wins a Gold for Best Breakfast... It was an exciting evening at The Sony Radio Awards for the Music 4 team as our work for Magic 105.4 helped the station secure the gold award for station imaging.

Judges comments:

"There was one word that all the judges said when they heard this entry “Class”. The playlist and the production feel perfectly at home together - this is imaging that totally works on the air. Consistent imaging/brand positioning. A rich feel and depth of sound in all imaging executions. Very clear messaging making it easy for listeners to understand the proposition".

In addition, Chris Moyles picked up the coveted Best Breakfast Award. Music 4 creates a vast amount of custom music tracks and jingles featured on Chris's show and are very proud to be a part of Radio 1's most successful breakfast show for many years. Many other Music 4 clients walked away with awards at the ceremony so congratulations to all this years winners.
